D’Arcy Falkiner – Owner

I started Comfort Keepers of Parksville, Qualicum Beach, and Nanaimo in March 2018.  I was very attracted to the philosophy behind the Comfort Keepers Vision.

As a registered nurse for 35 yrs, I have practiced all over the world, often choosing to work with frail elderly, an area I find so intensely rewarding.  A common thread through all countries and cultures is that these people do not want to face the possibility of moving into an institution.  They would much rather stay in their homes, surrounded by their important memories and treasures, things they have spent a lifetime accumulating.   I am so happy to bring this reputable organization to the Oceanside area.  I look forward to helping people as they age in place, helping them through all stages of later life, in the most respectful way possible.

I have a wonderful group of caring compassionate, skilled Comfort Keepers working for me.  They are certified, bonded, and insured. Each Comfort Keeper is matched to a client and will stay with that client to develop a relationship, which may turn into a friendship. Our care is interactive and involves the client as much as possible. We do not rush in and out.

Our services include companion care and personal care. We have a hospital to home initiative and also can help with palliative and 24 hour care.  If there is a need, we can take a look and see if we can help.

Char Stone – Office Administrator and Scheduler

Hi! My name is Charlene Stone and I am the part time morning Office Administrator. I have worked with Comfort Keepers since September 2022 but I have close to 18 years of office administrative experience. I previously managed the office for a long term care facility in Campbell River before moving to the school district as an elementary school secretary.  I moved to the Oceanside area 5 years ago with my husband and 2 children. We have settled in Nanoose Bay and live a lovely 5 minute walk from the ocean. In my spare time I enjoy hanging out with my kids and training our new chocolate lab puppy, named Flint J.

Sweet – Scheduler

My name is Sweet and I’m the Scheduler for Comfort Keepers Parkville/Qualicum. I came to Canada from the Philippines in 2015 and it’s been a wonderful journey ever since.  I’ve always been passionate in working for the elderlies and seniors. Being part of this company, whose main purpose is to be able to help the vulnerable aging members of the community is such a great opportunity for me.  To quote Winston Churchill “we make a living by what we get but make a life by what we give”, to be able to make a difference in other people’s lives is so fulfilling, which is why I am grateful and happy to have this job that allows me to be part of that.

Liz Lewington
